Theresa Mazzone - Cumberland
Surrounded by her loving children and grandchildren, Theresa Mazzone, 86, was taken home to the Lord on Monday, May 10. She has been reunited with her parents, her adoring husband and all her other family members that have gone before her.
Theresa, the daughter of the late Felisberto and Firminia Rocha, was the wife of the late Remo Mazzone. They were together for 46 years until his death in 2003. She was born in Taunton, Mass., and spent most of her life in Rhode Island. She moved to Providence when she was a young teenager, attending high school at the old St. Patrick’s School. She met the love of her life on St. Patrick’s Day in 1956 and was married three years later in a joyous ceremony at St. Patrick’s Church in Cumberland, a town where they would start a family and where Theresa would reside until the time of her death.
